Chapter 1546


    While seeing Cole off, Robin walked him all the way to the front gate of Harper''s Mansion.


    Cole said, "I heard that before Damon left the Harper Group, he plunged most of the funds into a


    new development project?"


    Robin pressed his lips together tightly, a shadow flickering in his eyes. He replied, "I''m really sorry


    that I failed to help Alonso Corporation back then. I didn''t expect him to do this. As far as I know,


    that project just started being nned a few months ago.


    From design to nning, it was all him, and no one else was involved. Seems like, he had this


    move nned out all along.


    He knew that the Harper Group would eventually fall into my hands, and even knew that the Alonso


    family would seek help from the Harper family in their time of trouble, so he used the money for the


    project in advance. Despite his young age, he ys a deep game. He pushed things forward


    without a ripple, leaving no way out for others."


    He never thought his nephew had any particr talent, but now, some of his actions really put fear


    in him. Such a sharp-minded junior was hard to ignore.


    Hearing his words, Cole just smiled. "No matter how smart Damon is, without the Harper family, he


    won''t be able to achieve anything significant. Even if he has the ability to start over, the smart ones


    won''t give him that chance, right?"


    Robin smiled, "My nephew, he''s just too hot-headed. But he''s young, it''s good for him to go through


    some things."


    Cole chuckled, "Yeah, you guys should knock him down a peg or two. Talking big about going all out


    against the Harper Group is one thing, but actually doing it? That''s not gonna be a walk in the park.


    From what I see, his mind is all on women these days. How would he have time to go against the


    Harper Group?"


    After saying goodbye to Cole, Robin stood at the door of Harper''s Mansion for a long time.


    Perhaps Cole was right! Without the Harper Group, Damon was nothing. Even if he had great ability


    and wanted to start over, there was no way Robin was going to let that happen.


    But given Presley''s recent mindset and attitude, it seemed he always had an important position in


    the Harper family. The power to control the Harper family was still in Damon''s hands. If one day


    Presley really summoned Damon back, then the Harper Group was surely his again. He needed to


    find a way to eliminate Presley''s thoughts about Damon.

    Chloe won thewsuit but pissed off the public. On top of that, Damon temporarily blocked negative


    comments about Chloe online, and now the online sentiment was almost entirely against Chloe.


    Those who were neutral or supported Chloe before had started to change their position to some


    extent.


    In just an afternoon, the negativements Damon had just removed popped up again like


    mushrooms after the rain. Damon read some of thements online with a serious expression. He


    couldn''t help but log into his ount, ready to personally respond, only to have his phone snatched


    away halfway.


    "Alright, if looking at this bothers you, then don''t.” Chloe, in her pajamas, leaned against Damon''s


    back, rested her chin on his shoulder, nced at thements on his phone, and smirked


    mockingly.


    Damon held her waist tightly, pulled her in front of him, and trapped her in his arms, a cold anger


    flickering in his eyes. "You see what they''ve said about you? And you still have a smile on your


    face?!"


    His voice wasn''t loud, but it was like a low drumbeat, enough to shake one''s heart.


    Chloe''s smile deepened. "You probably haven''t seen me get mmed worse, have you? When the


    rumor in school was that I stole Keira''s perfume form and that I seduced the judges in the


    competition, how much nasty stuff have I been through? These are only visible, but unheard, and


    compared to back then, these are nothing!"


    Damon''s face was still gloomy.


    "Their words can''te true; it''s not like they can achieve whatever they say. If that were the case,


    they would have made their fortunes and be the richest people in the world by now.


    They can swear at me all they want, but they are not living better than me. These insignificant


    words, you dont have to take them to heart."


    Damon looked gloomy, reached out, and gently poked her forehead. "Don''t you think you''re


    contradicting yourself? Who was it that asked me to help deal with thesements this


    afternoon?!"


    Chloe smiled, "It was me, but I suddenly felt like letting those people who I always bully have some


    fun. This is a good opportunity to let them vent a bit. Or else they might hold it in for too long, can''t


    vent, get anxious, and hire a hitman to get rid of me in secret. Wouldn''t that be more troublesome?


    Who knew you were so gung-ho, I just thought about backing out, and you''ve already


    handled half of it."


    Damon stared at her for a long time, then suddenly sneered. "What do you mean ‘handled half of it}


    Chloe, you obviously set me up!"


    Chloe shook her head, "I didn''t..."


    Damon, "Say that again?"


    Chloe nodded, "Okay, maybe a little."


    Damonughed, "Because of your stunt, this hot topic is about to be dominated by us two. Never


    thought I''d be an inte sensation because of you one day."


    Chloe, "Such a rare opportunity, for you, and surely for others too..."


    Chloe winked, her eyes full of cunning. It''s hard for anyone to guess what she''s thinking.


    Damon raised an eyebrow, then the anger in his eyes faded, and he said lightly, "Fine. Let''s go with


    your n, as long as you''re happy."


    Chloe looked at him with a touched expression, "Why are you so good to me?"


    He asked, "What do you think?"


    Chloe thought for a moment, then said, "You must''ve been keeping a mistress out there and feeling


    guilty towards me. That''s why you''ve been so lenient with me... No... Stop... that tickles... I’m sorry...


    Before Chloe could even finish her sentence, Damon''s hands were already kneading her waist and


    the crook of her arm. He deliberately chose Chloe''s most sensitive areas to tease. He said, "Go on,


    I want to hear about this mistress of mine. What''s her name? How stunning is she?"


    Chloe, "Quit fooling around... I''m sorry...


    Right on cue, Damon stopped, released his grip, and carried her to the bed. He said, "If you''re done


    ying, then go to sleep!"


    Chloey on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and said, "Let me think, what moves will Ms. Wendy


    make at tomorrow''s business banquet?"


    With a blink of an eye, Chloe rolled over, climbed onto Damon''s belly. and asked with a smile. "Are


    you considered a tycoon now?"
